We don’t really need security against terror attacks. Our former allies wont attack us on principle and our former enemies are getting our largesse.

We have a client that is specifically asking for LLM image generation footage or whatever it’s called. It’s not for public release, but it feels wrong and looks terrible.

There might be some people surprised that they have to go to jail because they thought they were immune.
Disobeying illegal orders cannot be sedition. The Uniform Code of Military Justice, article 92, requires service members to follow LAWFUL orders. If an order is illegal, they have a duty to DISOBEY. Obeying an illegal order can result in criminal liability.

Worked at Togo’s the sandwich place in my early 20s before the era of gloves. I never didn’t smell like pepperoncinis, all day. Everyday. It survived hand washing. Showers. You name it. For almost 6 months of being on the front line of sandwich making. Pepperoncini.
i love when my sandwiches have ungodly amounts of pepperoncinis on them.

i got some supermarket sushi as a quick lunch, popped the first roll into my mouth, and only afterward processed the wasabi green
the entire lump of wasabi had stuck to it in a single unit
'flavor blasted' is an understatement

Synology drive went bad. Panic ensued until I realized that I had the Legion server in the garage with all the same drives.
So, I have 11 backup drives left.

Sharing affordable meals:
Pasta (I used the last of reg and whole wheat), frozen peas, mint from my garden, heavy cream leftover from another meal this week (or sour cream). Garlic, lemon, seasonings, etc. So delicious and so inexpensive. Probably a couple bucks a serving.

I think what the American people want is to literally drain the swamp. Trump made it bigger. Reverse Citizens United, tax the rich with the same 'due diligence' with which we tax the poor, & eliminate the corporate stranglehold on our politics and economy. AND mass media.

I imagine many of you are bigger Star Wars nerds than I and already know about all this, but it's new to me. Though some of the scenes I "saw" via the novelization and the comic books way back in 1977.
